Public bug reported: When I set my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) to channel 1, it shows up in the drop-down list of available networks. However, many other companies in the same building as me have their routers set to channel 1, so I prefer to run my router on another channel (e.g. channel 7) to minimise interference.
When I change the broadcast channel my router's SSID no longer shows up in the available list of networks. If I choose "connect to other wireless network" and enter in all the appropriate settings, I can connect to my router, it then shows up in the available networks list with a signal strength of 88%. If I reboot my laptop, however, I have to go through the above procedure again... unless I switch the router back to channel 1, in which case it suddenly shows up in the list of available networks again. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nm-applet does not list router when I change the broadcast channel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
